Procedimiento Evitar que una tarea secundaria se adjunte a su elemento primario

En este documento se explica cómo evitar que una tarea secundaria se adjunte a la tarea principal. Impedir que una tarea secundaria se adjunte a su elemento principal es útil cuando se llama a un componente que está escrito por un tercero y que también usa las tareas. Por ejemplo, un componente de terceros que utiliza la opción TaskCreationOptions.AttachedToParent para crear un objeto Task o Task<TResult> puede causar problemas en el código si es de larga duración o produce una excepción no controlada.

Ejemplo

En el ejemplo siguiente se comparan los efectos del uso de las opciones predeterminadas con los efectos de impedir que una tarea secundaria se adjunte al elemento principal. En el ejemplo se crea un objeto Task que llama a una biblioteca de terceros que también usa un objeto Task. La biblioteca de otro fabricante utiliza la opción AttachedToParent para crear el objeto Task. La aplicación utiliza la opción TaskCreationOptions.DenyChildAttach para crear la tarea principal. Esta opción indica el tiempo de ejecución para quitar la especificación AttachedToParent de las tareas secundarias.

Dado que una tarea primaria no finaliza hasta que finalizan todas las tareas secundarias, una tarea secundaria que se ejecute durante mucho tiempo puede provocar que el rendimiento general de la aplicación sea bajo. En este ejemplo, cuando la aplicación usa las opciones predeterminadas para crear la tarea principal, la tarea secundaria debe finalizar antes de que finalice la principal. Cuando la aplicación utiliza la opción TaskCreationOptions.DenyChildAttach, el elemento secundario no está asociado al principal. Por lo tanto, la aplicación puede realizar un trabajo adicional después de que finalice la tarea principal y antes debe esperar a que finalice la tarea secundaria.
